When I wake and recall I’ve questioned events or objects in the dream this helps but usually I ask one question then either confabulate a reason and don’t question it further or a dream character gives me an answer and I don’t question it further. Apart from that I usually get annoyed that once again I’ve missed the most reoccurring dream sign I have - seeing people I know.

I’ve never seen my self RC in my dreams the closest I think I’ve come was once putting my hand in my pocket and feeling a small bag of something and On another occasion looking at a coin with kanji Marks written on It ( as I looked at the coin I thought “this is similar to my...oh look at the Japanese writing that’s cool”) one of my RCs is trying to break a Totem in my right pocket With my right hand( 3 coins I’ve glue together it has a particular feel. And weight to it)
